Actually our checks are no different to a proper agency.. Police check, and Working with children check.. thats it unfortunatly....

And we can have ANYONE in our house.. not making a good case for FDC am I???

But I agree, if you paid someone to sit in YOUR house, you'd want all the checks done first, AND references that checked out... anyone with good references from good people should pan out...

...on one side I see the need for nanny cams, and on the babysitters side it IS privacy invasion... I just dunno...
